ok guys, this idea is actually taken from some of the guys on the native instrument forums…
this is epidemics idea…and thought it would be fun to try on here…
"an idea ive just thought of…
I remember a while ago I read somewhere about 2 djs putting a mix together but they were in different countries. What they did was one of them would mix a couple of tracks, save the file and send it to the other person, who would play the file and mix theirs into it and save the result. They would then send it back to the first dj. So they kept passing it backwards and forwards until they had a full mix.
nice idea.
I was thinking that with everyone on here using traktor then we all have the ability to easily record our mixes and instead of just passing between 2 DJs we can pass it round a whole group of us and see what we end up with.
The thing which will make it really interesting to listen to is that we all have very different musical tastes on this forum so for example, my thoughts on what to put after a certain track will be very different to yours.
Your last track has to run out to the end, leaving enough of a tail for the next person to mix into.
All tracks before your slot are untouchable - show some respect.
Bring your best moves, and that includes making the mix seamless - no just slamming over from a Deep House track to some Gabba. Extra bonus for musicality and creativity.
what up everyone…ehatup DvS…hey how is it going on the native end on sending tracks back and forth…
i figured since most of us use traktor…we can just use the built in recorder to record the track…then maybe compress it to mp3 and then upload it to like a hotshare…then we just dl it then add our 6 minutes…then reupload to hotshare again…and then just keep doing this until its all done…
Wait a sec… are we doing 6 minutes total? I mean, how about two/three songs or 7 or 8 minutes total or something? If we’re doing 6 minutes AND we leave our last song to the end it’ll be more than 6 minutes. Just want to be clear.
Well don’t use those tracks then, dude. The way to get creative is to change the way you usually work, try something new, work within the parameters of the game, get out of your comfort zone and see what happens.
im looking forward to hearing this, i would love to take part but i would rather better my technique before doing something like this… maybe for the next one!
